Dachau

March 12, 2026 Published by: Roma Foundation

To commemorate the deportation of Munich’s Sinti and Roma on March 13, 1943, the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site is offering a themed tour, “Sinti and Roma in Dachau Concentration Camp.” The event on Saturday, March 14, is also a contribution to the International Weeks Against Racism.

From 1938 onward, Sinti and Roma were deported to Dachau Concentration Camp in large numbers. There, they often occupied a low position in the prisoner hierarchy and were assigned to particularly harsh work details. Even after 1945, Sinti and Roma often continued to face discrimination. Using numerous biographical examples, the tour tells the story of a long-forgotten group of persecuted people.
